Heraldic Boast for Taliesin of Archenfield
Boast for Taliesin of Archenfield's elevation to The Order of the Mark, written by Bertrande Fresneau
Oyez, oyez, oyez,
Your Majesties, Your Highness, Your Excellencies, People of the Midrealm
Now comes The Honorable Lord Taliesin of Archenfield, Forester of the Greenwood Company
Since his days as a student of Lord Michael O’Flynn, when the dragon first acquired its barbs, he has risen to be a great Bowmaster
Companion of the Order of the Sable Shield
Guardsman of Flaming Gryphon
Champion of the Dragon Army’s forces at Pennsic a half dozen times.
Across two centuries, he has captained the archers of Flaming Gryphon.
Now, herder of the cats that are South Oaken archery marshals.
By his keen eye and steady hand, his bolts fly for the honor of Dragon and Gryphon.
From metal and invisible fire, he restores the arrows of the Dragon’s forces.
Shooting crossbow or camera, he brings glory to his kingdom.
His on-target kindness warms his barony as a flaming brand.
His largesse sustains the archery forces with cold treats on hot days
And with joy and Esperance, he sustains their hearts as well.
Your Majesties, it is my honor to present to you Forester Taliesin of Archenfield
